Review summary

I had a great time on the cruise and at the ports. I met a lot of new people that I will be keeping in touch with. The only complaints is the food and the ship. the food was bland and the best thing they offered was chicken tenders and I paid too much money to just keep eating that for 5 days. The ship was like a maze trying to get through it. I have been on another Carnival cruise ship and the ship as well as the food was much better. Overall, not even those two things kept me from having a blast!!! I am already planning my next cruise but it will be on a different ship with Carnival.

Love to hear when folks don't let one thing stop them from enjoying their vacation. Back in early January the food on the Carnival Triumph was not as good as usual, but that did not stop the fun. Glad you got over your fear of water so you could enjoy it's beauty. Don't forget to post pictures if you can. Keep Cruising!
